Mayor Lee about to evict Occupy SF

[RandySF]

As Election Day nears, Mayor Ed Lee has pledged his support. A Police Department spokesman said Wednesday that the city is "requesting voluntary compliance" with local health and safety ordinances.

But at the Occupy SF tent city, with its bay and bridge views, tension is rising. On Tuesday, as Oakland police scattered that city's protesters, the San Francisco police chief issued a written warning that was handed out in Justin Herman Plaza, where an estimated 300 protesters and homeless people have erected tents on a public bocci ball court.

"YOU ARE SUBJECT TO ARREST," said the message from Chief Greg Suhr, admonishing protesters that officials have noted ongoing violations of city ordinances against camping, sleeping, open fires, public urinating and defecating, littering and the use of propane tanks.

"The San Francisco Police Department stands ready to facilitate lawful 1st Amendment activities," Suhr said. But "these acts have been and continue to be violations of the law for which you are subject to arrest."
